Assessing and Communicating the Risk of Workplace Violence

Client violence against healthcare workers is a serious and growing problem in workplaces across Ontario.
Assessing and communicating risks is central to preventing unnecessary harm and ensuring the delivery of effective person-centered care.
This webinar will provide participants with an overview of PSHSA's Violence Assessment Tool (VAT), a tool to evaluate the potential for violent behaviour in clients.
Participants will also explore key elements and principles for developing a sustainable flagging alert program for communicating risks and controls to relevant staff.

Public Services Health & Safety Association (PSHSA) works with Ontario's public and broader public sector workers and employers, providing occupational health and safety training, resources and consulting to reduce workplace risks and prevent workplace injuries and illnesses.
